Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Your question is very specific.

For acute attack of asthma..you may you levosalbutamol Meter dose inhaler with spacer ..dose depend on severity....but it is for transient relief.

Asthma is a inflammatory airway disease ...for longterm symptomatic relief(if it is persistent) you have to use long acting beta 2 agonist plus steroid inhaler like formoterol+fluticasone on regular basis...dose depend on age.

To prevent frequent chest infection you may require pneumococcal (once) and influenza (anually) vaccine.

Better to consult with pulmonologist...
For proper demonstration of metered dose inhaler technique & right choice of drug.

Thank you.
